According to Twitter, the reason for this move is to cater to the rising number of users using the Direct Message option on the social networking site. "We’ve seen the number of messages sent grow over 60% in 2015. And the number of Tweets shared privately has grown even faster, at 200% in just the second half of last year," says Twitter in its official blog post. (Reuters)
